Problem:
Dropped Objects cost the US Air Force millions of dollars on an annual basis. In addition, a single panel or aircraft component falling from an aircraft over a populated area could have catastrophic effects to include from tragic loss of life. Effective prevention of dropped objects starts when an aircraft door, panel, or cowling is opened for maintenance and continues through the feedback loop in the form of tracking & trending of data sets to determine cause. Tools for training, tracking and trending were needed in order to reduce overall dropped object incidents.
Solution:
Building on existing data collection tools, Macrosystems built a robust and flexible analytics engine that can take dropped object data from multiple tracking data sources in order to determine trends and provide key insight into the causes of dropped objects. For cases where the problems are training or education based, the DOPP tool provides Computer Based Training modules that can be associated with an airframe or a single airframe part and dynamically assigned to the people who need it. The tool also allows inspectors to track and investigate dropped object events and then feed the data back into the system.
